La Guita, Manzanilla

Made from Palomino grapes, mainly from the Miraflores estate: one of Sanlúcar's most prestigious. Ageing and development is carried out in the coastal town of Sanlúcar de Barrameda, here the flor in the solara grows more quickly in the humid conditions, developing the flavours of this Fino Sherry into the town's unique style. Pale straw-gold in colour, this Manzanilla has a delicate, fresh demeanour and a saline minerality on the finish.

La Guita winery was founded by Domingo Pérez Marín in 1852 and is the leading Sherry/Manzanilla brand in Spain. The historic Bodega was built in 1526 and was originally a Hospital until 1867. The west humid winds from the Atlantic sea, a key factor in the production of this unique wine, blow directly in the Bodega thanks to its location in the highest area of the town.

The Country

Spain

Spain has a huge number of unusual and captivating regions aside from the beautiful Rioja. Whilst tradition remains, some producers are really pushing boundaries making Spain one country to keep coming back to.
